Today, dp, my mums, our dcs and my moh went to a wedding fayre.

I went in the car with moh as squishing between to carseats isn't much fun.

We had some trouble finding parking, I'd already offered to pay parking as she was coming for me iyswim (didn't offer fuel as it was 5min drive, I'd have walked it she offered to drive)

Anyway long story short we couldn't find a space. Dp found some in a 30min only area. I asked friend if she wanted to park elsewhere she said no were fine, its a small fayre and we were going for a specific stand. Stupidly we were 5mins late to cars and got ticketed.
£30 fine each.

So we leave all fine. She then joins us in our car for another fayre this afternoon as my mum couldn't come. Spent 5hrs together. No more said about the ticket, we drop her home and 5mins later she texts me.

"What are you doing about this ticket, I haven't got £30"

I'm not even going to enter into her idea of skint as there's already a thread on the same basis, but I'm sure the two pairs of uggs she ordered yesterday and the £100 trainers today weren't necessary.

Anyway AIBU to ignore the message and if she asks me face to face refuse to pay it.

Difficult one, you were in her car, you were late as well so I would offer to pay half.
